Anyone have a good honey rub?

[bbq_esq]

I really like MeatChurch and Kosmos honey rubs and want to try making my own. Granulated honey was easy to find on Amazon, but curious if anyone has a go to recipe they would share. Otherwise I’m thinking I’d just follow the MMD recipe but sub in the honey rub for all or some of the sugar?

I think that is a reasonable place to start. I keep forgetting about granulated honey to be honest.

For me, I simply drizzle honey on my ribs along with some slices of butter when I wrap them. You might just try working with regular honey too.

I have done that, as recently as last week on some SLCs that were great. I’ve had good results with those rubs I mentioned and wanted to try and reproduce. I’m doing some pork butts later this week so I’ll try whatever I come up with on those.

Thanks for mentioning there is something called granulated honey. I just placed my order from Amazon. I look forward to playing with it. I hope you find the recipe your looking for, but if you come up with something in the meantime, please share! B

I'd start with MMD, replace the sugar with granulated honey & granulated brown sugar, scale back or eliminate one or both of the paprika & garlic. Would add mustard powder and MSG, maybe some soy/tamari powder. Plenty of black pepper, some cayenne for heat might be nice too.

Not sure about the rosemary. Not a huge fan of it though I keep it in the MMD because, as he notes, it definitely adds something. Maybe sub thyme?

I also do not care for the rosemary in the MMD and have subbed thyme in. I think some kind of spice would be good, maybe ancho or chipotle chili powder.

bbq_esq - hmm, Chipotle Honey Rub has a nice ring to it. would also bring color, so you could ditch the paprika

I make a sweet mustard rub that I pair with a honey mustard glaze. Replacing the light brown sugar with granulated honey would probably be nice. Below is where I posted it in the pit.
